My cousin is breeding her min pin Oliver and she is wondering how much she could get for the puupies. Also how much could she charge people if they want to breed him with their dogs.

Your cousin shouldn't be breeding her dog in the first place. Sounds like Oliver is "just" a pet, not anything of breeding quality. There are too many unwanted dogs out there due to irresponsible (so called) breeders as it is. The last thing we need is more. Not meaning to be rude, but it's the truth. I hope she changes her mind.

What?! She has to dogs! She spoils Oliver like a baby! He sleeps right next to her and he goes everywhere she goes. He gets alot of treats too. Her other dog is in heat and she wants to breed them! He was bred probably threes months ago and the poeple who bred him are wondring. I guess you read it wrong? I don't know.

If her dog has not proven him self to meet the standard(by showing in dog shows) then he should not be bred.
plus I just checked on OFA web site and they seem to be testin Min Pins,hearts,elbows,heart,eyes,LEGG-CALVE-PERTHES,PATELLA and THYROID.
Has her dog been health tested?

Puppies go for what ever people will pay.
50.00 would be a good price for puppies out of non heath tested or titles parents...

You will find that this site does not like Back Yard Breeders. We spend most of our time rescuing animals from shelters and bad situations, and frown on people bringing more dogs into the world, just because they can! If this dog is not the top of its breed, it should not be bred, and from the sounds of it, she just wants to make money anyways!

you people have problems! I don't ask questions to get nagged. She is 20 years old and has 11 horses to pay for and is working a part time job! I think a little money would help!

She also took Oliver from my other cousin who was going to bring him to a Humane Society!

:rolleyes: I agree with Orangutango. she needs to neuter him.. why doesn't she get a second job rather than breeding her dog for money? :mad: you asking how much she could get for the pups says it all. :( we don't need anymore dogs in this world.. not everyone is going to want a min pin.

Your other cousin was going to dump the poor pup in a shelter?

Weell, that is exactly why the little guy does NOT need to be reproducing! Because there are tons of unwanted dogs in this country, therefore logically, only dogs that have proven themselves in conformation, working, and health tests need to be reproducing. If you aren't breeding to actually improve the breed - not for financial gain - you are just adding to a terrible overpopulation problem. Dogs are companions, not money-making machines!
